1 The directory ftp.inr.ac.ru:/ip-routing contains:
3 - iproute.c - "professional" routing table maintenance utility.
5 - rdisc.tar.gz - rdisc daemon, ported from Sun.
6 STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL HOSTS.
8 - routing.tgz - original Mike McLagan's route by source patch.
9 Currently it is obsolete.
11 - gated.dif-ss<NEWEST>.gz - gated-R3_6Alpha_2 fixes.
14 - mrouted-3.8.dif.gz - mrouted-3.8 fixes.
16 - rtmon.c - trivial debugging utility: reads and stores netlink.
21 - Policy based routing. Routing decisions are made on the basis
22 not only of destination address, but also source address,
23 TOS and incoming interface.
24 - Complete set of IP level control messages.
25 Now Linux is the only OS in the world complying to RFC requirements.
27 - New interface addressing paradigm.
28 Assignment of address ranges to interface,
29 multiple prefixes etc. etc.
30 Do not bother, it is compatible with the old one. Moreover:
31 - You don't need to do "route add aaa.bbb.ccc... eth0" anymore,
32 it is done automatically.
33 - "Abstract" UNIX sockets and security enhancements.
34 This is necessary to use TIRPC and TLI emulation library.
38 - New destination cache. Flexible, robust and just beautiful.
39 - Network stack is reordered, simplified, optimized, a lot of bugs fixed.
40 (well, and new bugs were introduced, but I haven't seen them yet 8))
41 It is difficult to describe all the changes, look into source.
43 If you see this file, then this patch works 8)
